how is it shameful? were any rx7 owners talking **** and then 'punked out'? Nope.
Perhaps the guys with the fast rx7s are a bit smarter and more mature than some of the other guys out there.......

Someone used to post alot about this fact...i think it was Jasil or some other vette driver.....anyways....he is right.
I love my car...but a bruiser she aint. I think its prettyy hard to find a car thats more enjoyable to drive though.

I know we have the weight advantage but it takes a little more than a 600lb weight advantage to make up for the lack of about 3-400 whp. Not flaming but it is really rare to see a rx7 run with a built supra or mustang.

Whats even more troubling to me is how our cars stack up against just about any ls1 or bog v8 with a big shot as this is more of a real world application than Bs'ing about .0001% of the cars outhere.
I saw a z06 with a 100 shot smoke a single turbo supra the other day. These domestics with a shot are tough to beat even if u are single. by the time u spool he has 3 cars on u.
please dotn flame...just keeping it real.

I know Wolverine's might not be a Cobra, but I'm guessing it would weigh around the same. I guess you were right though, the Mustang isn't as chunky.
Oh, and good luck getting either car's crazy amount of hp/tq to the ground on anything but a straight line.

If the hp on the car is high it offsets the weights, like these guys are talking about. Okay so your car weights less but you don't have any power anyways. So who gives a ****.

He has twice as much HP as you...you wouldn't do too well in a drag race against him anyway. Thats like having a space shuttle asking an airplane to race it to the moon. We all know his car won't do good on a road course. 1,000hp cars with solid rears usually don't. I even saw a 900+ or w/e rwhp supra on a road course and he couldn't hook up for his life.

And I don't feel the need to swing my e-***** so I'll let the "my car has more power" statement go.

Sort of off topic, but not entirely, there is a 315whp Celica running low 11's simply because the car is completely gutted. The best N/A time is 13.5 gutted with less than 200whp. Weight matters for more than you'd think.

I felt compelled to clear that up. Carry on

Yes it was. If he turn the boost down and runs pump gas I'm sure the cars are similar with the weight and all.

So your car is under powered and slow, just like I thought. I can read you like a book kid. Have you ever driven a mustang or a mk4 on a road cousre?

Why would you challenge the guy, but only do it if he de-tunes his car? I'll challenge you if you take off your turbo. Then we'll be similar with power-to-weight too.
